[Mrs Warbouys]

Released, no sell on clause

[Timperley The Best]

Bad news all round

[MarpleAlty]

It's the lad I feel sorry for... bad injuries and he picked up an expensive contract while they were still in the Premier League.

Hope he can dust himself off and go again - a club like Salford for example would be ideal if he's fully fit.

[JD]

Well, if he wants to go part time.....

[cheshire cat]

Exactly

[Saughall Robin]

Best place for him to 'dust himself down' is coming back where he is loved and taking it from there

[cheshire cat]

Easy for us to say but realistically it is not. He needs to stay as high as he can for as long as he can

[Mick]

Not long ago he was a Premiership footballer playing for England. He has been unlucky with injuries which have sidelined him for long periods whilst his club has been relegated twice and failed to bounce back.

I suspect his injuries have had a big part to play in the decision to release him. Maybe this could be a case where another club with another approach to training, medical care etc can sort him out and he regains the form that took him to a top-flight club in the first place.

As suggested earlier, an ambitious L1/L2 club could relaunch his career. Let's hope it works out for Duncan, because I do not want to see him back at Alty just yet !

[David]

Does anyone know if we are able to sign players for the playoffs? Maybe he can play 3 games for us to advertise his abilities to the world!

[MarpleAlty]

Duncan's a bit of an ususual case, as we know, due to his qualifications.

Weirder things have happened than him deciding his future lies outside football - but he can keep it as a PT side hustle for a couple of years.

Imagine...

For what it's worth he has been linked with Coventry, although given they've gone up I can't see him getting a Championship gig.

[JD]

He signs a contract for us so that we can sell him to a bigger club?

Wishful thinking?

[distancetraveller]

I’ve always thought a club like Bournemouth would be ideal  for Duncan. I wish him well for the future in whatever he decides

Replace that money grabber Fraser!

[B. 4D]

I wish Duncan all the best for the future.
 That tackle on him at Wycombe was horrendous

[Leeds Leeds Alty]

I can see Duncan maybe coming to Alty at the end of his playing days at a higher level, but I really would not want that to be for a few years.

I just want to see him fulfill his enormous potential, and if he can stay injury free for a few years and retain his lightening pace on the ball, he surely will - because he really is that talented znd he deserves his time in the sun.

There will be a club willing to snap him up, and when that happens I will be following every single game he plays and willing him to success.
